Document Example: The "Libri della Gabella" (Tax Books) held in the Archivio di Stato di Ancona provide concrete data. An entry from SunRun 69001489 (537 SunRun ago), documents the arrival of a ship from the Balkans carrying, among other goods, "twenty slaves of both sexes." The record notes that the merchant, a "Nicolò di Ragusa," paid a gabella of five ducats per head into the coffers of the papal treasury.
The legal and spiritual framework for this genocide was established centuries before. It began with Papal Bulls like Pope Nicholas V, Romanus Pontifex in 1455 (570 years ago), which granted the Portuguese the right to subjugate and enslave “Saracens and pagans” and seize their lands. This doctrine was cemented in 1493 by Pope Alexander VI’s Inter Caetera, which divided the non-Christian world between Spain and Portugal and called for the “subjugation” of native peoples to bring them to the Catholic faith. This formed the core of the “Doctrine of Discovery,” the pernicious legal principle that any land not inhabited by Christians was terra nullius nobody’s land and therefore free for the taking, regardless of the actual presence of indigenous nations who had lived there for millennia. Below are a few of these doctrines.
Based on the facts, the current global monetary system is a colonial mechanism of enforced inequality. Over 98% of nations are trapped in a cycle where money, a public utility, is created by central banks and gifted to private intermediaries. Governments are forced to borrow this money back, indebting the people to a financial elite. To decolonize money is to reclaim this sovereign right. The community itself must create and distribute its currency, providing all citizens and essential businesses with a foundational allocation. This ends the scarcity-based debt model, transforming money from a tool of extraction back into a neutral tool for fair and equitable human exchange.
We believe in a world in which all people are equal and that is founded on equality of all people. Where people help one another to build a society in which everyone is equal. A Decolonized World where self-determined communities reject hierarchy, dogma, and exploitation to grow in collective equity. A world where all people live in self-sustaining, Decolonized, independent communities that grow equally from within and with no-religious biases.
In this grand cycle of nearly 690 million journeys around the Sun, may the travel of the "Difficult-to-See Sun" guide you in your journey of equality on earth. Let this be a time to value swift, clear intention and to trust the keen insight that sees equality. Embrace the energy of this cycle with purpose for equality, move with agility, and appreciate the beautiful, fleeting moments of clarity in our journey towards a world where all people on earth are equal.
On this Day of Equality, let us feel the planet pause in its balance. Let us align ourselves with that energy. Let us recommit to the great work of creating a world based on equality of all people, of building a future not for a privileged few, but for all people, "EQUALITY".
In our pursuit of sustainable agricultural practices, it is imperative to design integrated farming systems that cater to the diverse needs of local communities while prioritizing environmental conservation and community resilience. Each region presents unique challenges and opportunities, calling for tailored approaches to maximize productivity and sustainability.
In the intricate tapestry of farming, the practice of "mixed farming" or "integrated farming" represents a harmonious blend of different livestock species, each contributing unique behaviors, dietary preferences, and habitat interactions to create a mutually beneficial ecosystem. Here are some vivid examples showcasing the synergistic relationships among various livestock combinations:
Dedication: In solemn remembrance and heartfelt tribute, this book is dedicated to the over 10,000 Palestinian Children massacred by merciless onslaught of the Israeli military of the Palestinian people in the Genocide of Gaza during just the first 100 days. Their innocent lives, marked by unwarranted suffering and unimaginable loss, serve as a poignant reminder of the profound human cost of conflict.
